Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.
Respect the structure
Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.
Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)
Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.
Don’t mix versions
If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.
Let the lyrics be lyrics
This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.
Edit lightly
If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’
When in doubt, ask the crowd
Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
you could give me lots of reasons
to walk right out of here
or you could beg me to stay
but I know you're gonna disappear
you could smile and say nothing
enjoy the challenge of your secrecy
coz you can have another lover baby
just don't let it get back to me
coz when I can't feel a thing
I feel alright
n when I don't like what I see
I turn out the light
coz I don't wanna know
last night I walked right by a homeless man
my eyes stared into space
coz even if I gave him everything I had
I couldn't make his world a better place
this great green world
where there's enough for all
don't tell me starvation is too much to handle
they tell me reach out and change the world
and I reach out
I reach out and change the channel
coz when I can't feel a thing
I feel alright
n when I don't like what I see
I turn out the light
coz I don't wanna know
what's going on
